			<p class="bgColor"><a name="1"></a>1. What information does eParinay.com collect/track about me?</p>
			<p>eParinay.com is an online matrimonial service designed to provide an easy way for our members to   meet each other on the Web. To accomplish this, our members create their own   unique profiles and our matching technology provides them matches based on their   pre-selected criteria. In order to do this, we ask for certain personal   information which is displayed on the site. (This information includes physical   / mental disability.) (Of course, all eParinay.com visitors may browse the site,   search member profiles and view any articles or features our site has to offer   without entering any personal information.)</p>
			<p>eParinay.com gathers two types of information:</p>
			<p>I. Information users submit
            	<ul>
					<li><strong>Member:</strong> There are two types of user-submitted   information we collect: Public and Private. We define Public information as   personal information that may be displayed on the site at the behest of the   member, such as gender, age, height, telephone number, photograph, etc. Private   information is defined as any information that allows others to contact a user   other than through eParinay.com or allows the collection of information about the   user other than what is displayed on the site.</li>
                    <li><strong>Public:</strong> To accomplish our goal of bringing   compatible people together, we must gather personal information, which may or   may not include: customer-specified eParinay.com username, gender, age, religion,   income range, occupation, telephone number, preference/lifestyle information,   general geographic location, photograph, videos and horoscope.</li>
                    <li><strong>Private:</strong> This information is gathered from members   and guests who apply for the various services our site offers. This information   includes, but is not limited to: email address, first name, last name, credit   card number or checking account information for payment, a user-specified   password, mailing address, zip code and telephone number.<br />eParinay.com also   allows members to submit public and private information on behalf of others -   child/ward, sibling or friend. If such child/ward, sibling or friend does not   wish this information to be displayed, she/he has the option to request removal   of such information after providing the necessary evidence that the information   pertains to her/him.</li>
                    <li><strong>Co-Registration:</strong> When you register with <a href="http://www.ssankalp.com">www.eParinay.com</a> you have   the option of allowing us to share your information with either (or both) of our   partner sites: Astrolife.com and Fropper.com. When you opt-in to share your   information with these partners, you are agreeing to allow us to share your   personally identifiable information with either or both of these partners. Once   you have opted in to share your information during the co-registration process,   you should refer to the privacy policies of the partner sites for more   information on their privacy practices.</li>
                    <li><strong>Surveys and Contests:</strong> From time-to-time our site requests information from users via   surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely   voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this   information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name   and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code, and   age).</li>
                    <li><strong>eParinay.com Affiliate Partners:</strong> The Affiliate Partner program is a vehicle for other websites to link to   eParinay.com. No personal member information is exchanged with the Affiliate   Partner.</li>
				</ul>
            </p>
            <p>II. Information not directly submitted
            	<ul>
                	<li>Aggregate: This is information we collect that is   not personally identifiable, such as browser type and IP address. This   information is gathered for all users to the site. </li>
				</ul>

			<p class="bgColor"><a name="2"></a>2. What does   eParinay.com do with the information it collects/tracks?</p>
            <p>eParinay.com uses   the information it collects in the following ways:</p>
            <p>I. Information users submit
            	<ul>
					<li><strong>Members - Public:</strong> Public information supplied by members is   intended to be viewed by visitors to the site. This information is used by   visitors for searching and matching purposes. Public information cannot be used   to identify a specific member by name, address, etc (except photograph, posting   of which is voluntary). All members also have an option to post their telephone   number. The members can choose to display the telephone number to premium   members only. This display preference can be changed anytime by the member by   visiting the <a href="#">My   Contact Details</a> page and opting not to display the telephone number and   other contact details to other members. Only premium members can view telephone   number(s) of other members who have opted to show their contact details to   premium members.</li>
                    <li><strong>Private:</strong> We primarily   use member's email addresses to verify enrollment and to send system emails on   behalf of other members. Email addresses are not disclosed to members. We may   also use user's email address to send news regarding our site, but the users may   choose not to receive such emails by unsubscribing. Email addresses may also be   used in private correspondence with the user for customer service issues.   Financial information that is collected is used to bill the user for products   and services. All other private information submitted by the user is   confidential and is not disclosed except as required by law or to protect   members of eParinay.com.

			<p class="bgColor"><a name="8"></a>8. Tell me   about security of my personal information.</p>
 			<p>eParinay.com takes every   precaution to protect your information, both online and offline.</p>
			<p>When our   registration/order process asks you to enter sensitive information (such as a   credit card number), such information is encrypted and is protected with the   best encryption software in the industry - SSL.</p>
			<p>While we use SSL   encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our   power to protect your information offline. All your information, not just the   sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only   employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, a   billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to   personally identifiable information.</p>
			<p>We have also done everything in our   power to prevent misuse of photographs. Apart from not allowing photographs to   be downloaded or copied, we have watermarked them with the eParinay.com logo. This   acts as a further deterrent for illegal use elsewhere.</p>
			<p>If you have any   questions about the security at our website, please mail us on <a href="mailto:admin@eparinay.com">admin@eparinay.com</a></p>
			<p style="text-align:right;"><a href="#top">Back to top <img src="images/images/icon_top.gif" width="13" height="12" border="0" /></a></p>
			<p class="bgColor"><a name="9"></a>9. Tell me   about eParinay.com's email policy.</p>
			<p>We use email extensively to help you   find your match on eParinay.com. Our main email products and services include:
            	<ul>
            		<li>Member responses to your profile (called Contact Alert)</li>   
                    <li>Partner matches for you (called Match Mail)</li>   
                    <li>Newsletters updating you of the latest features on our site. </li>
                    Occasionally, we may also send you:   
                    <li>Announcements of special events which eParinay.com is associated with</li>   
                    <li>Special offers from partner sites, which we believe are useful for you. </li>
                 </ul>
			</p>
            <p>As a eParinay.com member, you are automatically subscribed to all of the   above, as an integral part of our matchmaking services to you. However, at any   time, you may choose to manage your subscriptions to one or more of the above   (except Contact Alert). All our emails will carry a link to help you do this.   You can also independently manage your email subscription using the <a href="#">My Alerts Manager</a> option.</p>
			<p>We reiterate that we will never sell/rent out your email   address to any third party, unless you expressly permit us to do so. In fact, we   do not allow ANYONE to see your email address, not even other eParinay.com   members.</p>
			<p>Your friend's email address:   Throughout eParinay.com, you have the option to send interesting profiles/articles to your friends. Do make full use of this option, because your friends   are also covered by eParinay.com's spam-free privacy policy. We will use your   friend's email address only to send your message to them. Then they will never   ever hear from us again unless they voluntarily subscribe to our services. </p>
